St Mark's CofE Academy
About St Mark's CofE Academy
St Mark's CofE Academy in Cornwall holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, with all graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management — each rated Good. This marks a change from its previous inspection in 2013, when the school was judged Outstanding overall. The most telling exam metric for this small primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 40 per cent. That figure sits below the Cornwall local authority average of 58 per cent. In writing, 80 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, while 70 per cent did so in maths and 60 per cent in reading. The average maths score was 102, and the average reading score was 100. Just 10 per cent of pupils reached the higher standard in maths and reading, and none did so in writing.
